Can anybody show me any pictures of the engine nacelles of the Supermarine Scapa , I am particularly interested in the radiator set up at the rear but any pictures showing the nacelles , exhausts and oil coolers would be very helpful to this modeller . Thanks in advance .

Are you sure this wasn’t actually powered by the torpedo, and the engines were carried on the wings a spares? :diablo:

Simply to transport them for re-supply purposes. I think the idea was to supply subs quickly, The Scarpa and London weren’t armed with torpedos. Engines could be carried the same way. They had a collapsible crane fitted.

That is an excellant picture , why were torpedos carried like this on interwar flying boats ?
